If you would like a budget-friendly, convenient, and restriction-free mode of transport when visiting Winston-Salem, renting a car from car rentals in Winston-Salem is a recommendable option. You don't have to worry about drop-off points being too far from your destination or not being able to reach your destination on time because you have to adhere to public transportation schedules. Even better, most cars from Winston-Salem car rentals come with up-to-date GPS navigation systems, so you won't have to worry about getting lost either. Better yet, you'll be able to check everything off your itinerary as you'll have enough time to go to all the places you want to visit on your own schedule. You can even add more attractions to your list, like the North Carolina Zoo, which is just 54 miles away. Or take a scenic drive through the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is about 99 miles away.
The Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) has on-site car rental counters from agencies, including Budget, Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise. The rental car counter is located in the baggage claim lobby, and the cars are parked right outside. Reserving your car in advance through KAYAK could make it easier for you as you'll have the option to just pick it up at the airport.
One of the most important things you have to watch out for in downtown Winston-Salem is pedestrians, especially at intersections. There are approximately 400 intersections in Winston-Salem, and even though most of them have pedestrian signals, reckless drivers and distracted pedestrians can lead to accidents. The North Point Boulevard and University Parkway intersection is especially dangerous. As a motorist, you are obligated to yield at crosswalks and take care when passing cyclists.
Winston-Salem is a relatively small city and rush hour spans from around 7am to 9am in the morning and from around 5pm to 6pm in the evening. Even during rush hours, traffic moves quite well unless you hit an accident. More traffic is found on US 421, Interstate-40, and US 52, but it rarely comes to a full stop. Apart from rush-hour traffic, winter roads in Piedmont Triad can be quite risky due to snow and ice, which makes it advisable to have a powerful car equipped to handle Winston-Salem winters.
Rent 4×4 cheap car rentals in Winston-Salem during winter as these are more equipped to handle the snowy terrain. Winter in Winston-Salem lasts from November to February. Winston-Salem and nearby towns like Kernersville and High Point experience high feet of snow, so a 4×4 best handles the snow, especially if you plan to tour these cities. Roads with the worst slippery conditions due to the ice include Robinhood Road and some roads near Piedmont Triad International Airport. Drivers of Winston-Salem rentals should be extremely cautious when driving on these roads or use GPS to find alternate routes. A 4×4 will also allow you to tour Quarry Park despite the rough terrain leading to the attraction.
Drivers of cheap car rentals in Winston-Salem can ensure the safety of all road users by adhering to the road rules. It is illegal to operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or any substance that causes impairment. Move over one lane and slow down to make way for approaching emergency vehicles with flashing lights like law enforcement. Moreover, yield to pedestrians at marked or unmarked intersections. Every passenger in the vehicle, whether in the front or rear seats, should wear seat belts. On the other hand, children under eight or 80 pounds should ride while secured to a child or booster seat.
Swiftly navigate from Winston-Salem to other North Carolina cities using the major highways. The Interstate-40 is a key highway connecting cities in the Piedmont region, which include Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point. It also connects Winston-Salem to other cities like Durham and Raleigh. The Interstate-285 is another major highway connecting Winston-Salem to Lexington. The U.S. 311 Freeway connects Winston-Salem in the south to Randleman and interchanges to U.S.52, which heads straight to downtown.
Book your rental car in Winston-Salem at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
Supplier choice rental cars in Winston-Salem are around 11% cheaper than other car types, on average

Drop off was easy. Staff were friendly.

Cons:

The radio in our car didn't work so we called the main number. Woman told us to call the local rental agency and gave us two numbers, neither of which worked. We tried to use the bluetooth and stream music, but that didn't work either. We stuck it out with the car but no radio makes for a long ride.

Cons:

The prices were ridiculous, the van was dirty, kept warning it needed an oil change, reaked of CIGARETTES and was almost unbearable to drive from Winston-Salem to Charlotte with my mother in law in kids so we could get to the airport all together! Never again will I rent from y’all AND I will be contacting corporate office about my experience as well.

I was scheduled to pick up the vehicle on Friday, June 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm. I was contacted around 9:30-10:00 and advised by the representative with Enterprise that they were unable to provide a vehicle and they were unable to assist. I requested an upgrade to meet my needs and they advised they had nothing. They stated they contacted several different rental locations and no vehicle was available. I asked if I was able to find a rental vehicle with a different company would they help pay the increase in rental cost and they stated that they would not and that is not there company policy. The call ended with no empathy or concern, that they were not able to meet the customer's needs. I scrambled for several hours and found a rental vehicle at the Enterprise Rent-A. Car location in Mount Airy. They were able to meet my needs and worked diligently to switch the reservation and met my needs and request. I would give the Mount Airy Location and Branch a review of above and beyond (5+, 100%+). The Winston Salem branch on Stratford Road I would give them a below poor rating with service and professionalism (-1, -0%). I am involved in working with Enterprise on a daily basis. If I have to use the Winston Salem branch I will find any other company to meet my customers' needs. If the vehicle is requested in Mount Airy, I will use them with no concerns. The treatment that was provided by the branch in Winston Salem gives me great concern as if they treated me this way then how would they treat any another customer. I did not want any special treatment, I only wanted the treatment, service, and courtesy that any person would be given.

Pickup in Winston-Salem was great! The problems arose during my drop off during after-hours at RDU. Website reported office would be closed, but car could be dropped off and shuttle service would be available. I arrived and followed signs to leave car in Avis lot...there, I found a car blocking the entrance. Another desperate driver arrived and helped me navigate around the blocked car. We had to drag our luggage around for several minutes to find a shuttle service at another rental company. Airport police was called but couldn't help. Officer indicated this was a problem reported previously. I would have missed my flight without the gentleman's help...this was after driving 2 hrs to arrive by 3am. It was a nightmare!!

The staff at the pickup location was rude, made a comment about my inability to figure out the apple carplay when i asked for help, and also insinuated that i was upgraded to a larger car when in fact i got exactly what i reserved, and when i asked about the potential to upgrade i was dismissed. The tires on the car i rented should be inspected, i hydroplaned several times while driving in the rain going at or under the speed limit. Likely will not use Avis again.
